Granny had the kids for us last night and so I we had planned to go out to eat and then see Eclipse at the cinema.

What we actually did was have a sumptuous dinner at Aldens in Belfast, drink lots of yummy wine (well I did) and totally forgot about the cinema part because we were having way too much fun just chatting and laughing. We finished the night up at The Lonely Poet, our local pub. It was bliss. Even more so because I’m not dying of a hangover today. Win!!!

Outfit of the Night was a smart casual little ensemble.

Skinny jeans from AWear (currently £10 in the summer sale)

Sequin body from the Dunnes sale quite a while back. I think it was a fiver.

Coral Cardigan from Dunnes £8. I just adore the crystal button detailing. Bargain!

Jewellery wise I went for my Links of London Charm Bracelet. The dolphin is a new addition and very dear to my heart. Matt and I watched the sun go down one of the nights on our cruise and we saw a school of dolphins up close. I never thought it would be as amazing as it was. They literally took my breath away and I felt completely in awe of the world right at that second in time.

My watch is an oldie but a goodie! The Michael Kors crystal square face. I actually bought two more of his watches at Duty Free (I know.. I know… v extravagant for me) while we were away. They’re definitely my favourite brand, classic as well as classy!

The shoes are a new purchase from the Oasis Sale £40. Still a little more than I would have liked to have paid but these are the comfiest heels I have ever had. I guess it’s the wedge heel that works so well for me. I’m so in love that I plan to purchase them in the dark grey also. They’re reduced to £25! Don’t you hate when clothing shops reduce like that, by popularity of colour? Grrr bugs me. Swindlers!! ;)

Stunning tan lines....

Make-up was my fool-proof eye combo of MAC Woodwinked, Mulch & Soft Brown. MUFE Smoky Lash Mascara (review to follow), Dior Nude Foundation and the over-hyped product of the moment MAC Stereo Rose MSF. My counter had an abundance of this so I’m guessing the sell out thing is just a mainland issue. It’s nice for sure, worth selling your first born for? Definitely not. I’m still “working” with it.

Finally a little Teddy update.

Ewwww!

Ewwww!

His wound is continuing to heal. There is a mild infection which he is on antibiotics for but his stitches were removed yesterday, and he is in great form considering. Total legend!

So glad to hear Teddy is okay! He's getting so big now isn't he?

I've just had a nosey at the menu for Aldens and it looks YUMMY. Peach and Vanilla crumble with Raspberry Ripple ice cream? Yes please! I don't know what it is about the hot weather but all I want to do is eat, its madness.

I know, he's a baby no longer. I'm kinda praying that he's all done growing now. Feeding him is gonna get expensive ;)

Ooooh I nearly opted for that crumble! Was a tough choice! Next time!!!

Totally with you on the food thing. Normally I spend the summer months just grazing on cold meats/ salads etc, but the "Summer" in NI is ridiculously November like atm and I've been eating hearty soups and full on Sunday dinners. Bah! xx

I bought your coral shoes in dark grey, they're so comfortable but they run quite big. I ended up having to get them in a size 3.

Poor Teddy, I'm glad to see that he is healing up!

I got them in the dark grey today! So chuffed. Size 8 (I'm usually a 7 so I think the sizes on these are completely squew whiff) this end :/ I'd probably be better off wearing 2 boats on my feet! xxx
